Wine Cellar compartment:
from +4° C to +18° C (from 39.2° F to 64.4° F).
The default temperature is +10° C (50° F).
The TriMode compartment is default set to freezer mode but it can also
be set to run as a refrigerator or cooler compartment.
Instructions for conversion are provided in the paragraph on special
functions and settings.
As needed, you can reset the temperatures as follows:
Freezer compartment: from -15° C to -22° C (from 5° F to -7.6° F).
The default temperature, which is recommended, is -18° (0° F)
Refrigerator compartment: from +2° C to +8° C (from 35.6° F to 46.4° F).

As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if this is done
under the following conditions:
Suitable temperature without appreciable variations over time
Controlled level of humidity
Protection from light
Absence of noise and vibrations
Absence of odours
Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in the Fhiaba Wine Cellar.
The space offered by the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartments,
which can be expanded as necessary by using the TriMode compart-
ment as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best wines at three
different temperatures.
The three compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:
Cantina compartment
+12° C (53.6° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39,2° F to 64,4° F)
Wine Cellar compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39,2° F to 64,4° F)
TriMode drawer
-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -15° C to -22° C (from 5° F to -7.6° F)
(freezer mode)
To transform the TriMode compartment into a wine cellar space, you
must access the Menu, set it as a refrigerator compartment, and ad-
just it to a temperature between +4° C and +8° C (from 39.2° F to 46.4°
F).
All the temperatures can be modied according to the characteristics
of the wines and personal preferences. However, you should attempt
to keep the temperature as constant as possible over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact cause dila-
tion of the liquid and early aging of the wine.
You should also avoid very low temperatures (below 4° C - 39.2° F )
which may lead to the formation of deposits and damage the aes-
thetic qualities of the wine.
All the compartments offer optimal conditions and take into account
all these needs. It should however be noted that the Cantina com-
partment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a very precise
manner and ensures the utmost care and attention over time of your
most prized bottles.

Time of conservation
Consumption temperature
Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on
the character of the variety and its type.
The following chart shows the best period of conservation and ag-
ing for various types in ideal conservation conditions offered by your
appliance. However, you should always follow the instructions of the
winemaker, especially for ne wines.
TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION
New wines (Vin Nouveau) from 12° to 14° C 6 months
Sweet sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 1 year
Rosé from 10° to 14° C 1 year
Semi-sparkling wines from 10° to 12° C 1 - 2 years
Normal white wines from 10° to 14° C 1 - 2 years
Light red wines from 12° to 14° C 2 years
Dry sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 2 years
Classic sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 3 - 4 years
Barrique and Vigorous white wines from 8° to 12° C 3 - 5 years
Normal red wines from 14° to 16° C 3 - 5 years
Barrique and Vigorous red wines from 14° to 18° C 7 - 10 years
Straw wines or Liquorous wines from 16° to 18° C 10 - 15 years
As a general rule, white wines should be served at a temperature be-
tween 10 and 12° C (50 and 53,6°F) and red wines between 12 and 14°
C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Some wines may however be best enjoyed at higher or lower tem-
peratures.
You should also keep in mind that, during the summer, wine is gener-
ally enjoyed at lower temperatures than during the winter.
You should also consider the following:
White wines are normally not served at high temperatures, since they are
generally more acidic that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they
are more enjoyable at low temperatures.
It is preferable to serve these wines between 10° C and 14° C (50°F and
57,2°F). Young, fresh and aromatic wines can also be served at 10° C
(50°F), while less aromatic ones are served at 12° C (53,6°F).
Temperatures between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F) are for soft,
mature white wines that have been aged for some years in the bottle.
Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation of the sweet character
of the wine, at the expense of the acidity and avour, which are consid-
ered pleasant and desirable characteristics of this type of wine.
Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as white wines. It should
be noted that these wines may include a certain amount of tannin
and may therefore be preferable at higher temperatures. Therefore,
they are served between 10° C and 12° C (50°F and 53,6°F), if young
and fresh, and between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F) if robust
and mature.

Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage wines con-
tain a low tannin content and are therefore more enjoyable if served
between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Since they contain more tannin and are less acidic, red wines are nor-
mally served at higher temperatures.
Younger wines with less tannin are normally served between 14° C and
16° C (57,2 and 60,8°F), while more full-bodied ones that are more tan-
nic may be served at up to 18° C (64,4°F). Some wines that have aged
for years in the bottle, still full-bodies and tannic, may be served at
18°C (64,4°F) or even 20° C (68°F).
Young red wines with little tannin and slightly structured may be en-
joyable at lower temperatures, between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and
57,2°F).
It is difcult to provide instructions to cover the wide variety of sparkling
wines in available.
As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic sparkling wines should
be served at lower temperatures, down to 8° C (46,4°F), whereas more
tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher temperatures, up to
14° C (57,2°F).
Dry sparkling wines are usually served between 8° C and 10° C (46,4
and 50°F).
“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served at these temperatures,
which may be as high as 12° C (53,6°F) for sparkling wines that have
been aged for some time.
It is however advisable, especially for ner wines, to follow the sugges-
tions and recommendations of the winemaker on the bottle.
These types of wines can be served at temperatures between 16° C
and 18° C (60,8 and 64,4°F), depending on personal tastes, to atten-
uate the sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served at 10° C
(50°F).

The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and contoured so as to
hold bottles of the most classical traditional shape or of the most
modern design.
Whether your collection holds fine bouteilles or petit bouteilles, they
will be right at home in the Fhiaba Wine Cellar. A special accessory,
available on request, will let you place them in an inclined position,
in order to display the labels of your most prized items.
Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided you remove the
shelf just above the one that will hold them.
If the TriMode compartment is also used as a wine cellar, the bottles
may be kept in a horizontal position, as long as they do not move
or touch one another. A special accessory for this purpose may be
provided on request.

when the power comes back on, a sound signal
will let you know that the temperature is above
what is best suited for conservation.
These temperatures are shown for one minute on
the display. This makes its possible for the user to
decide how best to use the conserved foods.
After one minute, the displays will start working
normally again, while the Alarm key
will con-
tinue to ash. Touch the Alarm key

Care and Cleaning
Care and Cleaning
Internal cleaning
To clean the parts in steel use a microfiber cloth and the sponge pro-
vided in the kit with the appliance.
Always use the cloth and sponge in the direction of the steel’s satin nish.
Every now and then, to make to steel shiny, wipe with a slightly damp
microfiber cloth.
Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such as the handles and
the profiles of the glass shelves.
You should use special care to keep free of obstructions the ventila-
tion openings in the appliance or in the cabinet that houses it.
Scrupulously follow the detailed directions that
can be found in the provided kit and never
use abrasive or metallic products which could
scratch and damage the satin nishing on the
appliance permanently.
Before performing any sort of cleaning, discon-
nect the appliance from the electrical power
supply. Make sure you do not damage the re-
frigerant circuit in any way.
Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with
boiling water.
Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator in a
dishwashing machine since this could damage
or irreparably deform the parts.
Clean the internal and removable parts by washing them with a solu-
tion of lukewarm water, a small amount of dishwashing detergent.
Rinse and dry right away.
Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to speed up de-
frosting.
Do not use water on the electrical parts, lights
and control panel.
Condenser cleaning
The edges of the condenser are sharp, there-
fore use adequate protection for the hands and
arms when cleaning the condenser.
A ventilation grille is located either at the top of the appliance or at the
bottom according to the model type.
A foam lter is placed behind the grille to protect from dust the ventila-
tion system.
To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment at maxi-
mum power, sweeping it along the vent slits. In case of a signicant dust
build up, the ventilation grille can be removed to allow a more accu-
rate cleaning of the lter.
Take care also to check the condition of the nned condenser and
clean it from dust if needed.
Operate as follows:
Switch off the appliance by pressing the Unit button on the main
control panel for approx 3 seconds.
On models with ventilation at the base remove the grille at the bottom
and take it off. On models with ventilation at the top the grille (mag-
netically attached) lift as shown in the picture.
Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam lter, by means of a vacuum
cleaner and the soft brush attachment.
Wait approx 30 minutes, until the nned condenser cools down to
room temperature, then clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as
shown in the picture, taking care not to damage it.
Start up the appliance again, by pressing the Unit button on the
main control panel for approx 3 seconds.
